I think it's absolutely Fantastic and Hilariously Ironic that the Man who set the absolute high bar for this type of country picking with his Perfect accuracy and flavor of This style of country guitar. And This by No means intended to be a jab or an insult, but I find this so funny and ironic. He is British yet He plays the best country chicken picking I have ever heard. I know Country I am from AR and MS.

Thanks my friend ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oxK7d1BQk4g.html *NASHVILLE BOOGIE* Country-Rock Guitar in the style of *Bert Weedon*
You’re honestly a hero for uploading this to RU-vid. This would have been lost forever to the void of outdated technology, but since you’ve uploaded it, guitar players everywhere can learn something from this brilliant master. Thank you so much!!
Oh my, I tuned my guitar and go ready to learn some cool licks.... I never played a note, just watched in total awe. Now I need to get back to the kiddies class 🤓
Wow I feel like burning all my guitars... I really suck... been playing 45 years and still cant play but man can I appreciate someone who just gets it.... thanks Mr Lee. You are truly amazing. Thanks for taking the time to show us some amazing licks.
I feel exactly the same, I suck even at strumming a sing along tune!!! We should all do a big fire with all guitars of guitarist that will never play and master the guitar like this guys 😎🙏🙌👍🤘😁🍻🇦🇷
I saw him in a small club in LV in 2000. He couldn’t have been nicer. Talked to us fan boys between songs and answered questions. Prince of a man. He is also one helluva piano player. He played a really good cover of Great Balls Of Fire.
"Now I'll play it"slower, so you can see what I'm doing", SUPERMAN said as he descends from LIGHT SPEED, to .5 WARP !!!! What an amazing talent, and humble on top of all that!! God bless you Albert, and Happy Christmas, to you and yours. g
I've been playing guitar for 20+ years. Never a country fan, but maybe because I never knew the original country. My Tele has become my favorite guitar. I just discovered Albert Lee, and this video is absolute GOLD! 👍
This is awesome. I’ve just recently gotten into learning country style guitar and this is hands down the most inspirational breakdown of different techniques and cool little go betweens. He plays fast but adjusting the playback speed helps a lot and so does a little ear training. Country music is pretty much three chords that walk around and the occasional ambiguous third. The most useful thing I’ve learned recently though is practice slowly and deliberately often. Notice how beaten in that fretboard is, this guy has put in thousands of hours of practice and playing and that is the real reason he is so good. Don’t get discouraged, time is just time.
I brought the bender out of retirement after a couple of decades. I remembered the star licks tape packed away and this site brought back some good memories. Thanks Albert! I also like the comment I'll slow it down for you.
I have this teaching video on VHS Tape and have not been able to view it for several years. I have often thought I need to learn some of these amazing licks from this outstanding musician and have often searched for it on RU-vid; and, finally, here it is!!!
Just when you think you are any good and can play with any proficiency, there comes people like this that constantly push you to practice and become "better"... Albert just blew me away with his techniques and beautiful personality. Thank you for this!
Thank You so much, I enjoyed that like I was 12 years old, seeing guitar playing the way it use to be, exciting and fun, with old timers I grew up loving from my church as a kid, I played rythm in the blue grass band we had banjo the fiddle, upright bass the mandolin instruments and 3 guitars what a great memory, I felt that same way watching Albert Lee, this is a great video, i know he enjoyed making this too. I might be to old to go that direction now but love music and playen for sure. God Bless Ya'll
Saw Albert several years ago at a music store workshop in Jacksonville, Florida. LOVED his playing, and he was a very humble, laid back, nice guy. Best I remember, he invented this style, and it has always been a favorite of mine.
Truly a 'master picker, and often cited by greats such as Steve Morse, Vince Gill, and even Zakk Wylde as an influence....and for artists like Clapton, the everly brothers and many country greats, he is 'THE' guy to back them....I personally love his playing, and the admiration from millions, speaks volumes, thanks for this....owned a couple of hotlicks, and starlicks vids back in the day. Be blessed.
When I saw Albert Lee playing with the Eric Clapton band back in the mid-1980's at the Inglewood Forum, it was one of the most incredible concerts I've ever seen (and there have been dozens of "best ever" concerts, but this one was towards the top of the list).. The Forum wasn't even half full, because Clapton had been out of the spotlight for almost a decade, which may have spurred them on to play their best. They used a mixture of Music Man and Fender amps, Clapton playing his iconic Strat, and Albert playing his Telecaster. It was a magical experience, and one I will never forget - the were both inspired to play beyond their capabilities.. As incredibly good as Clapton was playing, Albert was playing just as good, or even better. I've seen Clapton many times since then, and he has never sounded as good. Albert always plays great, but I've not seen him play that good since. If only there was a recording of that concert..! I Loved it...!!
let me tell you I cant agree more with you...un THE time Albert was un E.C. band (79-83), THE gigs they played were awesome, and, unlike some people think, Eric was pkaying as good as Albert (in a mire bluessy style, with a ultraclean Strat, with Albert with his best ever tone (for me), a thick telecaster one) , both singing súper harmonies like possesed by a superhuman celestial power , there are full concerts in YT of amazing sound, I recommend all any from 1983, and THE guitar dueto in "THE shape you are in" as proof of "guitar dialogue"
Wow ! Albert is just great, Les Paul and I always loved this kind of playing and would talk about how it was created. Albert also came to the Iridium Jazz Club in NYC. to perform and I was lucky enough to be the engineer. During that time the Les Paul Trio was still performing at the Iridium on Monday's after Les Pauls passing.
How cool....even if guitarists have never heard of Les Paul, they sure know Gibson's guitar, named in his honor as he designed the prototype. I remember hearing him playing with Mary Ford (I hope I got her name right) and it was hard to believe he only had 2 hands.....later learned he overdubbed extra parts, truly great, and sadly missed. Be blessed.
Albert has always been one of my heroes. I met him once at the Ernie Ball/Music Man booth at NAMM back in the '80's and again with the Earl Scruggs Revue when I ran sound at the Beartrap festival. What a nice and humble guitar genius.
I love country guitarists: Bren Mason, James Burton, Roy Nichols, Ray Flacke, Don Rich, etc., but this man is in the gifted class!! It's like he has another couple of fingers on each hand. Wow.
@@JanJohanssonmusic definitely not this year amigo. Just home from Vegas, Billy strings in Cologne and a rockabilly festival in Torremolinos Staying here to try to fill the coffers again.
Pushing through so quickly (I'm no beginner or even intermediate) would have made having the dots (musical score) or even tablature if that's all that could be made would have made this valuable video absolutely invaluable !! Oh well, I'll make do with my eyes and ears to get the instruction from this most valuable of instructional video's. Thanks very much, Jan for the upload.
Skinny Karlos - glad you liked the video. It’s very possible that there was tab included with the video but I haven’t seen it. If I get my hands on the tab I will upload it as well. Have you tried slowing down the playback speed? Kind regards JJ
Well, that's set my guitar playing ability back a few centuries. I guess this is the reason guys like him are up there with people like Clapton etc, top of their game, because they can do stuff that we really just struggle with.
The video is great, but the comments! Cannot stop laughing! So let that be a comfort for the players that can not keep up with Albert ( basicly everybody.. ) : making a funny comment is also quite an achievement! Thank you!
